Let Jakester have a go at her and he'll turn her off to men for 10 years.

Well....

All I can say is, I married my wife just before she turned 19. We had dated just under a year. (No, no surpise kids forced the issue)

That was eleven years ago.

Sometimes these things work, trust your sister dude.

Tell her to move to Utah and convert her boyfriend to Mormonism. That way, he'll be pressured into going on a mission in some faraway country for two years, she'll be able to sit around at home and do as she pleases (like go to school like she should), and they can get married when he gets back.

You know....hoping he doesn't get killed or anything in Guam....

Minion: Just mean.

That would be funny if they weren't both already Mormon and he hadn't already been on his mission!

OHSNAP!

Just let it roll out. Give them your best wishes, but not too much money. And make some general comment about his genitalia and a rusty saw if he gets her pregnant.

Perhaps that's an explanation? Are early marriages with minimal dating generally encouraged in Mormonism?

I don't think so. I could be wrong though, I was raised Mormon too, but I haven't been to church since I was 13 (yeah I know, I'm going straight to hell), I do remember large families. Here's the deal with this whole engagement thing: I'm fine with the engagement. Hell, they can move in together if they want, I'd support that. But damnit, she's just a freshman, he's a sophomore, they really need to experience life a little more. I'd rather they got engaged, moved in together, then waited until they both graduated and can earn a living. That way, if they decide it won't work out, it'll just be a break-up instead of a divorce (my parents just decided to get divorced over Xmas after like 30 years of marriage, and I can't get married here, so I'm hating the whole institution right now) and it won't be as big a deal.

I feel your pain. SERIOUSLY!! See my thread about my idiot sister getting married. She's 24, but they've only been dating a month now, and the planning's been going on for 2 weeks already. I have to suffer through a sex-toy-bachlorette party for my sis with my mom. Be glad you're not me.

Honestly, I know EXACTLY how you are feeling. Would you like me to get rid of him for you?

Yeah, I saw your thread, did people make some kind of weird "I must get married ASAP" resolution at the beginning of the year? He's a nice guy though, at least I thought he was, but if he talked her into getting married that quickly maybe I was wrong. Keep your cement and shovels ready, just in case...
